VIRGINIA BECK BRICK of Marion died of complications
from Alzheimer's disease on Tuesday at Crittenden Memorial Hospital. Mrs.
Brick, 78, was affectionately called "Gin" by her dear friends. Known
for welcoming others into her home and being involved with her neighbors, Brick
was hired by the late Margaret Woolfolk, former editor of the Evening Times, to
write a weekly column entitled "In and Around Marion," a piece she
continued for 40 years. "She enjoyed talking to everyone about their
families and their events," recalled Brick's son David Brick. "She
later wrote about their children's events and travels." Brick was a member
of the Marion United Methodist Church, and during her lifetime, volunteered her
time in the community, from being an elementary school room mother or Cub Scout
den mother to running errands and preparing food for the elderly. She also
enjoyed entertaining at her home -- both her friends and her children's friends
-- and was known as an outstanding cook and hostess. David continued, "As
a mother, she was the ultimate sacrificer, as she always saw to her four
children's needs above her own, even as they became adults." In later
years, she gave up her passion as a homemaker to assist her husband of 52
years, Meyer Brick, at his store, Brick's, a Marion institution for many years
until its closure in 1996. The final years of her life, Brick cared full-time
for Meyer, who suffered physical and neurological injuries following an
incident at his business. "She was extremely devoted to Dad," said
David. "After his attack, she never left his side. She performed his total
care for six years to the sacrifice of herself. She has grieved tremendously
over the past year since his death." David said that in recent months, her
disease took away Mrs. Brick's most valuable asset -- being able to communicate
with others. The Brick family will hold visitation at Roller-Citizens Funeral
Home on Thursday at 6-8 p.m. Services will be Friday at 10 a.m. at
Roller-Citizens Chapel with burial following in Crittenden Memorial Park. Mrs.
Brick leaves a daughter, Allison Brick Hezeau of Memphis; three sons, Steve
Brick, Phillip Brick and David Brick, all of Marion; a sister, Nancy Menzies of
Memphis; a brother, William M. Beard of Glendale, Ill., and eight
grandchildren."(Mom) loved Marion
and was very proud of its past and history. She will be missed for her sharing
and her many memories with others and always doing good deeds," added
David. The family requests that memorials be sent to the Marion United
Methodist Church Building Fund.

Searchers find wreckage of helicopter - By Jamie
Brockwell - Evening Times Staff WriterThe search for
missing local businessman LEE CATT ended
yesterday afternoon when the Mississippi County flight crew located him and the
wreckage of his helicopter in southern Crittenden County.According to
Crittenden County Sheriff's Investigator Thomas Martin, Investigator Bobby
Stabbs with the Arkansas State Police in his capacity as pilot for the
Mississippi County Sheriff's Department helicopter, located the wreckage at
approximately 12:17 p.m. Stabbs, a good friend of Catt, has been part of the
search since being contacted by the family on Saturday night. The crash site
was located in a ditch southeast of the intersection of Highways 50 and 79.
Martin said that the aircraft was not equipped with an emergency locator
device, ELD, which is commonly used in larger aircraft. Shortly after news of
the crash got out, many of those who had been searching for Catt, including
many members of his family and his friends, arrived on the scene. Catt's
employees also arrived in large construction trucks bearing Lee Catt
Construction Company logos, pulling trailers with their personal four wheelers.
Many of them had been a part of the search for Catt since Saturday. Martin said
that the exact cause of the crash is unknown at this time. The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) arrived this morning to investigate the crash site.
Deputies and Crittenden County Search and Rescue personnel have maintained the
perimeter around the site pending their arrival. Volunteers from the HorseshoeLake and Hughes Volunteer Fire
Departments also took part in the effort after the wreckage was found. Martin
said that it could take up to a month to determine the exact cause of the
crash. Catt, 44, leaves his wife Jerri, and their two children. The owner of
Lee Catt Construction Company, Catt was involved in several high profile
construction jobs in this area such as the Hino Motors Manufacturing, Inc., and
the Infinity Group warehouse facility on Red Cross Road. By the number of
volunteers we had out searching for Mr. Catt, many of them being his friends
and family members, it is very evident that the touched the hearts of many,
many people, said Martin. All of us have his friends and family in our
thoughts and prayers. Many of us here at the sheriff's department knew Lee from
his involvement in the county and on a personal basis and know that he will be
missed.
